• Employee representatives: These are individuals or groups that stand up for the rights and needs of the employees.
• Employer representatives: Speak on behalf of the company or organization.

🌍 Real-world example: Think of it like a soccer game. The players (employees) have a captain (employee representative) who speaks to the referee. The team owners (employers) might have a manager (employer representative) who negotiates contracts.

• It's a fancy term for negotiations between employees and employers.
• Mainly focuses on deciding wages and working conditions.
• Trade unions usually represent employees in these discussions.

🌍 Real-world example: Imagine a group of superheroes (trade union) coming together to negotiate with city officials (employers) about their rights to fly around the city.

• They can adopt stronger tactics like:
• Work-to-rule: Employees get super "by the book". They follow EVERY single rule, no shortcuts! While it sounds good, it can slow things down... big time!
•  Striking: Employees decide, "Nope, we're not working!" They may even protest, holding signs and chanting outside their workplace.

🌍 Real-world example: Remember when teachers refuse to check extra assignments because it's not in their job description? That's work-to-rule! Or recall news about workers marching with signs? That's a strike!
